Discover Jordan
Petra is a city carved from pink and red rock more than 2,000 years ago by the Nabataean people. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth, and it is so salty that people float without swimming. Wadi Rum is a desert of tall red rocks, used in Hollywood films. Amman, the capital, has Roman ruins beside modern neighborhoods.
Mount Nebo looks out over the desert. Minerals from the Dead Sea are believed to have healing properties. The land runs from hot desert to green valleys. Jordanians are known for generosity and hospitality.
